What to bring with you on your fly fishing excursion with Owen
Thanks for coming prepared for success—
Polarized glasses brown, copper and amber lenses work best along the Texas coastline.
Sunscreen. Days are long and shade is limited.
Hat with a dark or black under brim.
Ice water will be provided as part of the kick plastic campaign.
Lunch can be provided, but is needed nonetheless. Please be sure to specify in advance if you would like lunch provided for your trip.
Non-marking shoes, but it is highly recommend to fish shoeless so you can feel if you are standing on your line.
Tackle: Capt. Owen has high quality fly fishing gear but feel more than welcome to bring your own. 7-9 weight fly rods are perfect.
Flies will be provided, but also feel free to bring your own selection and Capt. Owen can pick one out for any situation.
Artificial baits, spin or “baitcast” rods will also be on hand for customers that would like to sight fish, but do not fly fish.
Note: Full-day trips run 8-10 hours, half-day trips last 4 hours. We will be shallow water fly fishing and sight casting along the Texas coast for redfish, but won't pass up many opportunities to hook drum, trout, flounder or sheepshead.
